Tales of the House of Temptation - Updated July 16th 2016

Hey, I need someone to read a little of what I've got and see if it flows without being confusing. Any volunteers?

Sure, why not. You just need someone to read what you have and see if they can follow the story, right? That doesn't a problem for me as long as you are not asking me to check your grammer.

Cool, I'll shoot you a message with the relevant text.

Hey, how would you guys feel about it all being joined into one single game?

Like, I'll finish Tales of the House of Temptation, then release it as a separate game... then Assault On The House of Temptation, release that separately... but then somehow import them all into the same game, use flags to unlock chapters from the main menu, and then every game thereafter will be built in as a new installment... How would you guys feel about that?

sure if you can implement a save system or something otherwise repeatedly tales to get to assault every time you close it will get annoying. hmm a simple password might also work

As an update, progress is slow at the moment. I'm having difficulty finding time and will to write, but I'm making it happen. I'm at 9 pages out of an initial 74, which may increase as time goes on, so I'm currently at a tentative 12-ish percent complete, not counting all the work done on character profiles. I've go to finish up the Liltist profiles and I've still got the Delilah and Remnant characters to do, so I'm something like 35 or 40 percent complete on that whole thing.

You guys will like the Delilah Coven. Their techniques focus on weakening their prey, and they, of course, make use of kisses. Liltists not so much, but Delilahs? Oh yes. Ooooooh yes.

So, as a quick overview - The Lucidus coven focuses on messing with your mind. Liltists use Siren-like Songs. Delilahs weaken their prey before they have their way. And the Sabbath coven? Well, that's a surprise for Chapter 3.

take your time and an enjoy your work it'll be pointless if you have fun writing it(unless your just doing it for the praise in that case I can call up a slave driver to motivate you)

To anyone reading this, I need some assistance to finish up the Character Profiles for the Liltist coven. Specifically, for Kyron - I can't seem to find a picture to use for his Profile. So after a lot of searching, I'm crowd-sourcing this particular necessity.

Kyron: "A man of mixed race, Kyron's bronze skin and small frame belay the common notion of an intelligence-stealing Agent."

I need a drawing, sketch, or similar image of an African-American man in a business suit. Anime theme is preferred, not necessary. Skin tone should be only a little dark - again, he's a man of mixed race. The biggest thing, though, is just that he not have the overly-stereotypical "thug" look that is too often applied to black men of wealth - that look simply does not apply to this character.

So, if anyone can spend five or ten minutes searching, I'd greatly appreciate it. It seems to be much harder than I thought to find such an image, and I really don't want to change the character.

Edit: I've got something, but it's not quite right. If no one suggests a pic in the next... I dunno, let's just do 24 hours; if there are no suggestions in the next 24 hours, I'll just use the one I've got.

Worse comes to worse, you can always replace it at a later date.

But I'll try looking.

Any luck?

EDIT: Alright, I'm tossing in the one I've got.

Double Edit: Well, now that I'm done with Character Profiles, time to do more Character Profiles.

Got pictures for all of these ones already. Just gotta write out their various details.

Sadly no luck, I could try drawing somthing. But Im awful at drawing.

Nah, it's cool. I'll use what I've got.

You can't always get what you want.

But if you try sometimes,

You just might fiiiiiiind...

You get what you neeeeeeed.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I have a small Announcement to make. Thanks to the loyal fans (and two guys who gave the game 5/5), "In the House of Temptation" currently holds the number 1 spot in the Adult category.



I don't know what percentage of the more than 5200 plays and 200+ downloads can be attributed to this forum, but I guarantee you I wouldn't have been able to make the game at all without the support, feedback, input, and encouragement of the UHL community.

You guys fuckin' rock. Thank you, and here's to more on the way.

If I ever get time to practice, I might draw somthing up. Though I wouldn't expect anything I want to show off anytime soon.

Also, neat.

Don't worry about Kyron. He's a minor character, anyways. At least in the near future.

Also, little teaser for everyone:

In bed with Madison:

Just a tiny little teaser.

Writing is going slow. How slow? This slow.

Work, School, you know. Gonna get some writing done this weekend.

As a side note, the animation in that song is creepy as fuck. Like when they're all turning around? Creeeeeepy.

That moment when you finish writing on a page labeled "montage" and realize that whatever you have written, it is in no way a montage in spite of your initial intentions.

This game is gonna give you some goddamn feels.

cant w8 to play it man

But I just got off the feels train.

2 pages of writing were done today.

This brings the total to 17 out of 77. Things are not progressing quickly.

I blame PHY321 - Vector Mechanics and Vibration.

i blame the fact sleep is a requirement and not a recreation. damn human biology.

Progress is being made. I'm currently working on the plot-important bits, writing out the long events that take place throughout the course of the game. For anyone who's seen the skeleton build, I'm past Hub 3 and starting on the missions now. I've got clear ideas on the final mission, and I've had the epilogue set in my head since before I started writing.

What I'm ignoring for the moment is the side-conversations, the pages not integral to the plot, but important to the game. This includes the sex scenes.

Now, I need feedback on what I have so far. If you're interested in playing through an incomplete build, but getting a face-full of plot and exposition, then PM me. I want to know if this is interesting at all.

Now, a quick list of what is and is not done.

Opening: 2 pages out of 3. Need to write out the teleport page.
Hub 1 until next: 6/6
Hub 2 until next: 8/10 Missing 2 sex scenes
Hub 3 until next: 4/16 Missing conversations and sex
Mission Hub until next: 1/15 Just wrote the intro. Coding's complete, though, which is good.
Hub 3 until next: 0/18 Haven't gotten there yet.
Final Mission until End: 0/9

For a total of 19 complete, out of 74. (I miscounted the total number in my last post)

So, again, anyone interested in seeing where I'm going with the plot, who has no issue proofreading and providing feedback, PM me and I'll send you what I've got for your review.

Just poking my head in to say I'm still alive, I haven't abandoned the project, I've made only a little progress (part of Alpha Mission, "Carrie Livingston"), but it's firmly in mind. My time has finally opened up, so once I catch up on a couple of things, I'll continue moving forward.

I still want someone to take a look at what I've got, and no one has yet stepped up to the plate, so I'm going to post what I have so far.

Only download this if you intend on giving feedback, otherwise an early look is pointless. And be prepared to read - you're gonna see a LOT of exposition. And no, there's no porn yet. Though, admittedly, I did put in a kiss at the end of the first mission's "Charm Without Magic" path. No spoilers on what said kiss does

See the above post if you want to know what is and is not done. I can give specifics if needed.

Seriously, though. I need feedback. Aside from the motivating force of it, I want to know if you guys find the story to be genuinely interesting. A lot of things happen very quickly in this story, and details are important, so please, read every line.

So, is the consensus that everybody hates it, or...?
